Thursday's Daily Brief

Thursday, May 26, 2011 Arianna Huffington: HuffPost Goes International: Introducing HuffPost Canada Arianna Huffington: When we announced our merger with AOL, I said that one of the things that most excited me about the deal was how it would allow us to reach our goals -- including the launch of international editions of HuffPost -- much, much faster. Three months later, I'm delighted to be in Toronto for today's launch of our first international version: Welcome to HuffPost Canada. Canadians are no strangers to The Huffington Post: 1.5 million of them visited us in March. So starting our international expansion north of the border was a natural. HuffPost Canada will provide readers with a turbo-charged, Canada-centric version of the site you already know, featuring our signature blend of news, opinion, entertainment, community, and information -- all delivered with our familiar look and attitude, and tailored to Canadian issues and perspectives. So check out HuffPost Canada and let us know what you think.

Wow. It's enough to make you want to take another look at Donald Trump. Christina Patterson: The Real Special Relationship: Obama and the Queen "They are," said Obama, of the Queen and her spouse, "extraordinarily gracious people." If I'd been the Queen, I think I'd have fainted with joy. But the Queen tends not to faint. Bella DePaulo: Why Getting Married Will Not Necessarily Make You Happier You can't say that getting married makes you happier if you only count the people who got married and stayed that way. Daoud Kuttab: Road to Palestine Becoming Clearer, But Still Difficult The marathon of speeches last week cleared the view as to what is needed for Palestinians to reach their coveted independent state. Clearing the view, however, doesn't necessarily mean that getting a state will be easy or attainable in the near future.
